"Most creative desks have a cup overflowing with pens, markers, and tools, even though you reach for the same few every day. There is the Muji gel pen for sketches, a couple of render markers you trust, and then about 15 other things you keep just in case. The Pareto Principle says 80 percent of your output comes from 20 percent of your stationery, which feels accurate once you notice how often you dig past everything else."
"Pareto Pot is a stationery holder designed around that rule. Designer Liam de la Bedoyere noticed his own reliance on a handful of hero tools and built a pot that prioritizes those while still keeping essential counterparts within reach. It is a small desk object that treats hierarchy as a feature rather than pretending every pen deserves equal billing, using form and compartment size to make your most-used tools easier to grab."
"The object is made from bent and welded sheet metal, forming a nested, teardrop-like footprint that balances minimalism with clear function. The outer shell wraps around an inner wall to create two compartments in one continuous gesture, so it reads as a single form rather than a cluster of tubes. The result feels industrial and precise but not cold or overdesigned, more like a small sculpture that happens to organize your pens."
Pareto Pot prioritizes the small set of tools that produce most work while keeping secondary tools accessible. A larger front compartment holds main pens and key markers, and a smaller rear section stores backups, fineliners, or highlighters. Bent and welded sheet metal forms a nested, teardrop-like footprint where an outer shell wraps an inner wall to create two compartments in one continuous gesture. A wide base and cork underside provide stability and desk protection. The height keeps pens upright and visible without wobbling, resulting in a minimal, industrial object that doubles as a small sculpture.
